I've just had my GS300h (2014) for a week now and I've got a very simple question around the audio setup. I play all my music from a USB stick with all my music being in MP3 format.

Can the audio system on my 2014 GS300h display Album Art if the artwork is stored within the MP3. I have resized the artwork within the MP3 to various sizes and none of them are shown (40 x 40 pixels, 100 x 100 pixels, 120 x 120 pixels etc). I was hoping that the artwork would appear where the USB image appears on the right hand side (see picture with area highlighted in red square).

I know that the NX300h does support album artwork so I am hoping that the GS300h does also and I'm not doing it correctly.

Cheers

I have a 2003 RX300 and I use TRICO EX350 (14" or 350mm) from my local motor factors - Andrew Page for £5.26 including VAT. That's for the whole wiper - not just a rubber refill. They are a perfect match for the original and fit in seconds.

I had my 2003 RX300 SE-L converted to LPG in October. I do mainly urban driving and I am getting a steady 18MPG on LPG. On Petrol I was getting about 21MPG. I currently pay about 64.9p per litre. The conversion (prinz based with a 71 litre tank) was done by autotech and it cost be about £2,100 which includes the valve lubrication system. The conversion took about 4 days.

I have a 2003 RX300 which has got the usual error code 4 on the CD changer. Is it possible to add an additional second CD changer and to the existing unit. I think there is a connection on the existing unit to allow for this. If so, what is the make/model that I could use (I have the Mark Levinson stereo btw). I still prefer to use CDs even though I have got an iPod.

I am missing the console console lid on my 2003 RX300 SE-L. Does anybody know the part number of the missing item so that I can get a replacement ?

Have a look at the beatsonicusa web site. They have various facia adapters for sat-nav and non sat-nav models.

The SLA-82AAD should allow you to retain all existing controls using an after-market unit apparently.

I was looking at that and I also found this in the USA.

Full kit with wiring harness. You can also buy it with just the facia which is $91 plus shipping.

I have seen a very nice 2004 RX300 SE (70,000 miles) which I am thinking of buying but it doesn't have SAT-NAV or the colour reversing camera. Has anybody replaced the OEM unit with an after market in-dash system. I have seen 1 post on this forum about the air con button not working after changing the original unit and problems getting a matching faceplate.

BTW, my local lexus dealer is offering me a 4 year service plan (70k on clock) which will include the cam belt change at 100k for £1,058.12 - monthly payments of about £26 for 39 months. Seems like a good deal to me - 4 services including a major one and MOTs included.

Any pointers would be very helpfull.

Thanks.
